Some people would look at current market share distribution for Windows OS smartphones and give a shrug “meh – 2% of the market? Not a likely contender.” It is true that Microsoft hasn’t had the easiest road breaking into this new era of pocket PCs (aka smartphones), but the latest joint venture with European feature phone giant, Nokia, looks to be a step in the right direction. What would a giant step in the right direction be? Pairing up its OS with a Samsung handset. This is precisely what they have down with the Samsung i8350 Omnia W, a move that is bound to shake things up as Samsung has quickly become the Android golden child of smartphone manufacturing.

Customize your look - how cool can you be?

Time for the good, the bad, the ugly and a few ideas of rectifying some of the bad and ugly. The Omnia W isn’t revolutionary. It’s a far sight more attractive than its predecessor, the Omnia S, but is still a midrange phone intended to compete in the North American market. Its most notable features? Powered by a 1.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU and the Mango 7.5 OS, great battery life and screen clarity with the Super AMOLED touchscreen, Mobile Office document viewer / editor (one of the features that makes this a great buy for business professionals), and a multitude of social network integration and cloud services. break free from long-term locked in service contract... unlocked cell phones enable you to enjoy the freedom of choosing your service provider and negotiating the service plan that best meets your interactive lifestyle.

Now for where the Omnia S is lacking… Storage (it is non-expandable and there is no mass storage), no Flash support in browser (so no streaming your favorite guilty pleasure from ABC.com while on the go), and no video support are the most notable. Luckily these are shortcomings are either addressable by purchasing external storage or SD memory cards and investing in a separate media device for shooting video and streaming Flash content.

While the Omnia S doesn’t have the most dazzling internal stats, processor, or operating system, this Windows / Samsung collaboration does hit the intended mark of being elegant, aesthetically pleasing, business oriented smartphone for the a midrange market that integrates the best part of Microsoft and Windows: ease of use. They have made social media, texting, and the new ways we communicate all integral in the People Hub and have stayed with the current “Siri” trend of voice activated commands.

For its shortcomings, there seem to be few that can’t be overcome with a bit of extracurricular accessory acquisitions and eventual Windows OS updates. As with any smartphone, this writer chalks much of it up to personal preference and how individuals use their devices. With plenty of unlocked phones, OS, and competitive carriers out there, it is a buyer’s market. So investigate the options, usage plans, and your must-haves in a mobile device and happy hunting!

The smart phone industry as a whole is a unique one in that most often competitors are also partners. In the case of Samsung and Apple, on a commercial level they each have their own line of smart phones aimed at consumers. They also compete on technology levels and are currently in several litigations around patent infringement and other legal issues. It's amazing to see that despite all the issues between the two companies, they can continue to do business with each other.

In addition to being competitors, Samsung and Apple are also partners on several levels. Much of the inner workings of an unlocked iPhone are components manufactured by the major mobile companies in the world including Samsung, LG, and others.

A recent news release is speculating that the Samsung Quad-Core A6 Chip will be the processor of choice used in the next iPhone release scheduled for the summer of 2012. Apparently Apple is inquiring about the availability of the chip and the timeline in which they can secure them in preparation for the next version of their phone. This is perhaps another indication of how well Samsung is doing in the development of technology area of the industry. For their main competitor of the unlocked Samsung Galaxy S II, Apple to decide to use Samsung as their main chip provider shows that they are a leader in the space.

Samsung Quad-Core A6 Chip

As the year round off and the data starts to come in terms of sales, it is believed that Apple will be Samsungs biggest overseas client accounting for over 8 billion in sales of its components including liquid crystal displays and memory chips. As a news release I'm sure Apple wishes this type information was not made public as it only boosts the Samsung brand and puts them more to the forefront in terms of being a serious competitor to Apple.

AT&T has officially announced their lineup for the upcoming holiday season with android phones. It appears that they have five new phones that they are going to be introducing to the marketplace.

Each year there are only a handful of new phone releases that are worthy of a lot of media attention. Since Google began partnering with manufacturers through their operating system, the Nexus series of smart phones have always sparked the interest of many. In this article we are going to take a look at the unlocked Samsung Galaxy Nexus which is also codenamed the Nexus Prime.

Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S Features:

A quick summary of the features of the phone includes a super AMOLED screen with a curved glass display is 4.65 inches in size.

The one negative thing about this release is that it may be exclusive to Verizon wireless. That said, it may be possible to get yourself an unlocked Google Galaxy Nexus phone online. Since the phone supports all major networks and GSM frequencies, an unlocked version should be portable to any of the major carriers in the USA aside from the obvious CDMA carriers.

So there you have it the full specs on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Nexus S unlocked. As you can see the phone is feature rich and is leading the way in the smart phone gain by providing all of the sought after features available.

It is amazing to believe that with just two different models of their smartphone available, Apple was able to take over two thirds of the profits from smartphone sales in the second quarter among the top companies around the world. The news was released by Strategy Analytics just after the company announced that they believed at all with the smart phone vendor in the lead in terms of volume around the world. It is clear that Apple’s unlocked iphone 4 is the number one Smart phone company around the world, but a number of other countries are following closely behind.

Four of the eight major vendors of smart devices around the world were profitable during the second quarter of this year. Apple’s other profit share jumped from 50% during the second half of last year to a total of 57% in the first quarter of 2011, oh the way to 66.3% during the second quarter of this year. To say the least, it will be interesting to see if they are able to continue this upward trend and profit.

Apple’s iphone 4 unlocked receiving two thirds of the profit share for the quarter is something that you definitely probably saw coming, but not at the margin in which we saw. The company continues to grow their revenue, profits and has a huge amount of money sitting around waiting to be spent; you can bet that the company will continue to find ways to increase their overall profit. Other companies in their proper share from the previous quarter include Samsung at 15% and HTC at 11% up nearly 6% from the previous quarter. With these three companies being on top of things in almost every major editorial, you can bet that we could see some heavily aggressive behavior from them in the future. Apple appears to be in a spot where they could pull away and given their current state, in large amount of capital that they have on hand.

The unlocked Samsung Galaxy was a device that received a lot of attention when it was first released and has been critically acclaimed. The newest version of the device has also received a lot of attention as well. Samsung announced today that the global preorders for the phone have reached the three million level. This was the level that they were at near the end of April. It is clear that there is a huge demand for the device, and that Samsung has a real winner on their hands.

One week ago Samsung’s device was pre ordered in South Korea alone a total of 200,000 times. That is a huge number for that region and the 4.3 inch AMOLED device is one that will continue to gain in popularity. They are hugely popular in their home market and the Samsung Galaxy S II is a device that is also popular in other areas of the world.

The Galaxy S II will be offered throughout more than 120 different countries in total and will be on more than 140 carriers across the globe. The device will continue to grow in popularity as long as they continue to put out solid smart devices.

The device is really the only device that currently rivals the unlocked iPhone 4 in terms of smart phone popularity. The over sized screen is one thing that has drawn many users to the device and many users are looking forward to more specs to be released about the device moving forward. With over three million pre-orders, the Samsung Galaxy S II is easily the most popular phone that they have, and will continue to be one of the most popular devices in their line moving forward if the amount of pre-orders is any indication.

As per one of the leading unlocked cell phone blog site. This week, Cricket gave the world a sneak peak at their new Muve Music application on the new Samsung Suede device. Although the Suede was hardly the talk of the Consumer Electronics Show, it did look pretty smooth as it navigated from one menu to another throughout the hands on. It seemed to power the software quite easily and no lag time was noticeable at all during the hands on event.

The Muve service allows users to have unlimited everything, pretty much. These unlimited services include unlimited calling, unlimited nation wide text, picture and video messaging, and just about any other service that is standard in an unlimited data package.

Their new Muve Music service also boasts a huge catalogue of more than one and a half million songs. That number is expected to jump an additional million over the course of the next few months as the company gets more deals into place with publishers. The hands on demo looked very promising for both the Suede and the Muve app. It will certainly draw in some potential customers who would not mind having a cheaper, slick phone. It seemed to be able to handle all of the basic functions and looked very good moving from one menu to another. The Muve also looked good, and at $55 for the complete service, you really can not beat the deal. The Muve is obviously one of the very best apps in its space, but some have argued that the price tag for all of the features is a bit high.

It is good to see that with the success of their other devices that Unlocked Samsung phone has not taken their focus away from also delivering lower quality phones that are easy to use and provide a good set of features for users that do not want to spend the money on a top quality phone from the company.

The Samsung Unlocked Phone “SCH-1520” is a handset without a name. To most, that might make it a Little less ape paling, but that certainly doesn’t mean that it doesn’t come with a host of features that most would love to have for the price of the phone. The best part about the phone is obviously the display. Its 4.3 inch touch screen display is among the best out there, with a beautiful AMOLED display that makes every screen look unbelievably crisp and sharp.

The phone also comes with a 1 GHz processor as well as an 8 megapixel rear facing camera, and a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera. This will enable the phone to partake in the various video chat apps that are available for Android 2.2, the software that the phone will run on. So while you have to feel kind of bad for a phone that is referred to by its model number, or simply as the “Samsung 4G LTE Smartphone” as Verizon referred to it in their press release, you can’t say that they skimped on the features this time around.

Although the focus of the hand set should be on the excellent Super AMOLED Plus screen that delivers everything in crystal clear clarity, it also has a wonderful design that make it easy to hold, use, and comfortable in the hand. These, combined with the fact that the phone boasts a completely open HDMI out port have made it an unlikely hit at the Consumer Electronics Show this year. It will be interesting to see how the phone continues to gain popularity as more become aware of the great features, despite the fact that it does not yet have a name. The phone is expected to be released during the first two quarters of 2011, so expect it to have some sort of official branding here soon.

Valentine’s Day may be long gone, but the spirit of love seems to still be there with Sprint, who are giving their Premier Customers the opportunity to reserve their own Unlocked Samsung ( Epic 4G). While others will have to wait for some time to get a chance to be able to reserve the Epic 4G for themselves, this is one opportunity that the Premier Customers of Sprint would just hate to pass on. If you are one of those few, lucky enough to be Premier Customers of Sprint check the inboxes of your e-mail accounts as soon as you can, so that you don’t miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity.

Now, we do know that many of you technology freaks out there have been eyeing the Epic 4G ever since the announcement of its launch. Sprint has put out a comparison just for those fans, which pits the Samsung Epic 4G and the HTC EVO 4G. Although Android is the common feature of both the devices, EVO trumps the Epic with the latest version of the Google platform on board, and is also WiMax enabled. The Epic has a QWERTY keypad that slides out where as the EVO’s keypad is on board the screen itself, that functions on touch. The EVO, however, will cost you around $199, which is not so bad for all the features that it offers. Again, the Epic 4G will push you back by $249, (the rates are after rebate) which raises a very basic question. Is it worth paying the additional $50 for a phone that just offers a few extra features and because it is a variant of the Samsung Unlocked Galaxy S? Critics say it would not be a bad investment either; however, a few more adjustments would have made it much more tempting.

The Unlocked iPhone 4 has a new and very formidable competitor in the Samsung Vibrant which is the T-Mobile variant of the Samsung S Galaxy that you might not have heard of. This phone is a very good choice for the person who wants to buy a strong smartphone and in fact we feel that this phone might just have the capacity to swing some of the potential buyers of the iPhone to their favor. This device is a great asset to the T-Mobile carrier and it will surely dissuade many people from switching to AT&T with the Apple iPhone 4. We are pretty excited to have the chance to sample this phone for ourselves and we can say that we are impressed.

The design of the Samsung unlocked Galaxy S which T-Mobile went for is more closely related to the original phone’s look and we feel they have done the right thing here. The screen of the phone is the new and very exciting super AMOLED screen and the capacitive navigation buttons caught our attention. It also has dedicated volume keys which make this phone look really smooth. However the phone’s more visible bezel makes this less sleek as compared to the Captivate. As for the hardware, other than the AMOLED screen, its 5 megapixel camera, 16 GB built in memory and microSD card input slot. There is also Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0 other than these. The memory card on this phone can be taken out and replaced without having to take the battery out or reboot this phone, which save the users from a lot of hassle.

The Android 2.1 adorns this phone and is good enough for now. The skin is the Samsung S Life User Interface and you can play around with it. Other than this, there are a number of other features you must look forward to in this great device.
